Josh has wanted a Griffon forever.  We have called all over the country (over 100 breeders)to get one, but they are very hard to get and we had no luck.  Last Saturday, Josh got a call that one was available...... and it was just in UTAH! So the next morning Josh and the girls woke up and drove to pick her up.  She's quite the handful, but very cute!! We named her Morgan Creek, after a part of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.  The kids love her and she's been a fun addition to our family!

{Here's to a new year!}

Originally I created this blog as a family journal and I have not done well at all!! In fact, my last post was more than a year ago. So, my only resolution this new year is to do better at keeping a record for my family and myself! I haven't even taken any pictures of my kids off of my phone. Terrible, I know.  I'll start off with a rundown of the kids and what's up with them and hopefully do better throughout the year.

Kelsie:  

Kelsie is almost 13 and in the 7th grade. She loves to dance and play the violin. We spent the summer watching her play softball. Her team won the rec league championship! She also attended Camp Kesem again and Kyler was able to go with her this year. That was a special experience for her. She spends lots of time with her friends.

Kamrin:

Kamrin is 10 and in the 4th grade. She loves school, playing sports, and spending time with her friends.  Her dad has been her basketball coach for the past two years and she also loves that. She has recently started going hunting with Josh and loves that! She looks forward to taking Hunters safety and going lots more.  She helps me cook a lot  and is a good helper around the house.  Kam also went to Camp Kesem again this summer and had lots of fun there.  She spent the summer playing softball as well, she loves playing catcher. 

Kyler:

Kyler is silly. Not sure how else to explain him.  He is 7 and is in the first grade. He keeps us busy and always has something to say to make us laugh.  He loves legos and drawing right now. Kyler would live in the water if he could and is all boy. Superheroes, camo, and anything with wheels fill his time. He loves to spend time with his daddy and frequently takes ride with him to do "man stuff." Kyler got to attend camp kesem with his sisters this year and was very outgoing and friendly.
